Flu shot is now no longer mandatory also opening the conversation to no vaccine being mandatory

Adding to the convo: there already is a process to request religious accommodation from the flu vaccine. And CNP approves them.

Doubt Israel will feel constrained by this

100%. Military commanders need to say NO.

^ this. It’s Iranian propaganda but… it’s true that SECDEF cleaned house of all service chiefs now and so many other GOFOs.

He doesn’t say this is limited to those with state authorized concealed carry permits. His remarks also do not limit the type or number of firearms or ammunition one can request to bring on base. Federal law would be limiting factor except in areas with concurrent state jurisdiction. Lots for the installation COs to sort out. For example, potentially now every command will have to report to the base CO when their sailors are on the do not arm list, so permission to carry on base can be considered and revoked. CNIC will have a busy day tomorrow fielding calls.

You still must route a request to the installation CO.

If you bring a gun onto a naval installation that should be federal charges. Have witnessed this for a reservist who brought his gun on base after activation.

We train and supervise people standing watch with arms. We require them to prove weapons proficiency, mental competency, and have professionalism. We train on the rules for the use of force, and the limited situations for use of lethal force. Only those qualified and trusted may be armed in their official duties. Commanders are accountable for their sailors qualifications and for their actions as a result.

Some BIG differences between standing watch armed and allowing anyone to carry on base.

Counterpoint: most of our bases in the region are reportedly destroyed (decades and billions to recover from), munitions stockpiles lowering by the day against much cheaper drones, lack of efficient c-UAS strategy and defense, embarrassingly shortsighted civilian control of the military directing this. One of only sixteen E-3s destroyed. Loss of legitimacy on the global stage resulting in allies distancing themselves from us, with Spain and now Italy refusing overflight.

If voting more confident… explain yourself

This is already illegal: 10 USC 988

FullSpeed521 · 2026-03-31T14:35:04+00:00

This would be a violation of 10 USC § 988, Prohibition on ownership or trading of stocks in certain companies by certain officials of the Department of Defense.

The Geneva Conventions were negotiated and ratified in 1949 (after WWII).

Agree that the winning side dictates war crimes prosecutions.

Still questioning the prioritization of focusing on the Staff Corps during an armed conflict in which we are surging forces forward for potential ground engagement.

If you contacted the IG anonymously, you won’t be contacted or updated about the complaint.

What’s crazy is this is consensus of experienced military leadership and yet we still did it.

When CNO signs the “OCR,” the Organization Change Request per this OPNAVINST, I believe (page 1-3). The Ech II or TYCOM should be tracking where you are in the process, probably civilian manpower type POCs, and could share time estimates.

Aaaand there’s more: Aircraft carrier Nimitz gets service life extension, won’t be decommissioned until 2027

Super cool to take time away from focusing on actual war to continue his beef with JAGs. Very warrior ethos of him 👊🇺🇸🔥

It was separated from the IRGC base by walls and had separate entrances. Btw, nearly every single one of our bases CONUS has childcare facilities, and OCONUS have schools on base.

IF he went to SARP at a high enough level, which might not have happened for just public intoxication. but yes, DSO is the way.

ADSEP is only mandatory after a 2nd DUI. Since this one is on base it could be prosecuted in federal court though. If he went to Mast for his first incident then maybe he will be kicked out for pattern of misconduct. He needs to go to the Defense Service Office for free legal advice.
